Former President Donald Trump posted on social media on Wednesday (22), a day after saying he would be arrested in New York over a payment to an adult film star, which even “haters” say he didn’t do anything wrong.
Over the weekend, the Republican said he would be arrested on Tuesday (21) as part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation into the alleged bribe paid to Stormy Daniels.
On Truth Social, Trump’s social media app, he called on supporters to “speak out, take back our nation”.
“Every article I read, every show I watch, even the so-called ‘haters’ say ‘President Trump did nothing wrong, THERE IS NO CRIME HERE!’ The crime would be if I were accused!!!”, published the republican this Wednesday.
While there have been strong indications that a grand jury will indict the former president, he was not taken into custody last Tuesday.
Trump, who denies wrongdoing, would be the first US president to be indicted for a crime if charged with the $130,000 that Stormy received in 2016, allegedly to keep quiet about an affair. he had with the former president.
Prosecutors say the payment, made by the Republican’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, may have been a campaign violation. Investigators are also looking into whether any records were falsified when the bachelor was reimbursed for the money, which the Trump Organization listed as legal fees.
The former president denies having had an affair with Daniels and continued to attack the investigation and dispute the charges against him on Wednesday morning – without referencing his earlier comments about an arrest on Tuesday.
